Hotel Panorama

“Pleasant place to stay if you long for peace,quiet and relaxation”

Just come back from staying at Hotel Panaroma and to be honest for a 3 star budget hotel I cant really complain, but I agree with some other reviews its more ideal to stay here if you access to a car. We knew that the nearest airport would be Verona but a local told us that apparently flights are only operating twice a day to & from the UK - one in the morning, one late in evening but I cant confirm for sure. From Milan Bergamo airport we used a Flixbus service about 25 euro pp one way (1hr 40 mins) which took us to Verona Bus station direct, then from there a town bus to Garda bus station about 4 euro pp, (approx 1hr) then a good 30 min walk to the hotel. Theres a free shuttle bus about(7 mins walk downhill) that takes you to the town. Its like a 15 seater small burgandy-coloured bus just so you dont get it confused with the main buses lol. But it only runs till about 7.30pm so after that you have to rely on taxi or a long walk back uphill to the hotel. If ever not sure exactly where you are/where you're going just ask as most people are helpful and happy to give directions. Overall I cant fault the hotel, reception/restaurant staff were pleasant & polite but some of them struggled with their comprehension of the English language. However there are lots of information leaflets and brochures on display of things to do in Garda and further afield. Rooms are very standard basic,but comfortable I didnt notice if it had air con but temp was just right neither too warm or cold. Wifi is free in hotel reception and restaurant/bar area. Breakfast was basic, standard continental style with toast, bread rolls, eggs and ham, some sausage. Evenings you had a choice of fish/meat or vegetarian option with salads, veg, soups and desert as part of your main meal. Im no fussy eater but the salmon fish and lasagne dishes we chose werent that much to a high standard, abit cold and lacking taste so I ate more of the pasta, salad & veg. Many of the visitors to this area and guests in our hotel were from Nordic countries, Scandanavia/Swiss/Germans etc apparently its one of their popular holiday spots but they're pleasant enough to be around. Most of our time was spent in Garda town area near the bus station; lots of shops, restaurants, little market stalls and we also visited Bardolina another shopping area, which was a couple of stops away by bus. We didnt have children with us (all grown up doing their own thing lol) but there is a theme park/water aquarium place nearby where you can take young children. Lake Garda itself is absolutely stunning you can even go for a swim and there are shallow areas safe for children. The weather was absolutely stunning this time of year, it rained only one night our stay but temperatures during the day a roughly a good 25 degrees at least. Positives: Beautiful scenery, hotel situated in a quiet peaceful location Negatives: Drinks can be quite pricey in restaurants; not much night-life close to the hotel we had to search around looking for evening entertainment - just found a small bar with a live band not that stimulating, hotels nearby may have had better options but we had no way of knowing for sure Warning: Bring insect repellent - we were bitten by insects we couldn't even see Avoid: Taxis as much as possible - absolute rip-off

Depois de ler comentários sobre este hotel, fomos bastante apreensivo sobre a nossa próxima estadia. Na chegada, achamos o recepcionista do sexo feminino para ser muito útil. Chegamos no nosso quarto e fomos agradavelmente surpreendidos. O quarto foi um bom tamanho, como foi a casa de banho e melhor característica do quarto foi o chuveiro excelente energia que parecia ser muito mais moderno do que o resto dos seus arredores. Entrar na varanda, fomos recebidos por um pátio comum com excelentes vistas do Lago de Garda. Na manhã seguinte no café da manhã, fomos recebidos pelo garçom que nos pediram nossos nomes e a guiar-nos para a nossa mesa, que estava em um quarto completamente separado do outro, a maioria dos quais eram provenientes de países vizinhos. Este foi um pouco rude e um insulto, insinuar que nós Brits ou vai causar problemas entre outros hóspedes ou que os outros clientes não quer sentar-se conosco. Talvez eu sou mais exagerando no entanto ainda foi muito estranho. O café-da-manhã em si não foi muito a desejar e que não escolheu para comer no hotel. No dia da nossa partida, o recepcionista do sexo masculino tocou o nosso quarto pedindo para vir para a recepção antes de sairmos para discutir a nossa conta, que tinha sido pagas na totalidade à chegada. Ele perguntou se ele poderia devolver o dinheiro que tinha pago e se ele poderia carregar o cartão de crédito que foi dada no momento da reserva. Eu já tinha explicado para a recepcionista do sexo feminino na chegada que quis pagar com dinheiro e ela fez isso e foi dito que este foi ok. Recusei-me a tomar o dinheiro para trás e explicou que eu não queria pagar com o meu cartão de crédito. Ele então ele ligou para alguém que disse-lhe dinheiro foi ok. Parecia haver uma falta de comunicação. Em geral, o hotel não foi tão ruim quanto eu imaginei no entanto, não deve voltar.

Me and my husband stayed here at the end of august for 4 nights. It is confusing, as mentioned in previous reviews there is another hotel in the same area with same name "Panorama" but with quite posh pics of rooms and hotel itself, so check the address before googling pictures of the hotel just by name :) Overall the hotel is not posh, that's why it does not cost a lot, but.. It has everything you need to sleep, take a shower etc. It's clean, the bedding and towels were changed every day. On the day we arrived our shower was leaking, but after we reported about this to the receptionist, it has been fixed in short time. Receptionist was kind, english speaking. The pool area could be more looked after, the barmen and waiters in so called restaurant did not speak much english. Overall if you have rented a car, this place is perfect, we were having dinner at garda, in the restaurants just by the lake, enjoying the sunset. Which was wonderfull. Prices in restaurants are not expensive. By walk from the hotel it takes around 30 mins. I would not say the hotel is poor, it's basic. Anyway if you go to the place like this, you won't spend all day in the hotel, there are so many beautifull places to be around it. :)
